Moving to starting unit Allen is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Impact Allen will get the starting nod in this matchup due to the absence of Bradley Beal (calf). This will be Allen's first start of the campaign. The veteran forward is averaging 10.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game in 14 outings off the bench this season.

Logs 17 points in loss Allen ended with 17 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-7 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Monday's 109-99 loss to the Magic.
Impact Allen is getting back up to speed after missing two games, and his presence is sorely needed with Bradley Beal (calf) unavailable. The box score showed that Allen's totals didn't have much effect on Josh Okogie's participation in the injury scenario, which bodes well in the fantasy outlook for both players.
NOVEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Efficient 18 points in loss Allen posted 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact After a two-game absence due to right hamstring soreness, the 29-year-old led the bench with 18 points and finished as the second-highest scorer on the Suns behind Devin Booker (44). Allen has been on a mainstay on the injury report this season while also taking a backseat to the club's new addition, Tyus Jones. Through 10 regular-season outings, Allen has averaged 9.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists while shooting a lackluster 37.8 percent from the field across 21.1 minutes per game.
NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Getting green light Allen (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.
Impact As expected, Allen has been upgraded from probable to available and will return to action following a two-game absence. With Bradley Beal (calf) and Kevin Durant (calf) sidelined, the Suns could use Allen's floor spacing against Minnesota's stout defensive frontcourt.
NOVEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Upgraded to probable for Sunday Allen (hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Minnesota.
Impact Allen has missed the Sun's last two games due to a sore right hamstring, but the 2018 first-round is poised to make his return Sunday. Allen could be inserted into the starting lineup due to Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal both being ruled out due to calf injuries.
NOVEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Game-time decision for Sunday Allen (hamstring) is considered questionable and a game-time decision for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Allen is in danger of missing his third straight contest Sunday due to a sore right hamstring. With Kevin Durant (calf) and Bradley Beal (calf) already out, Ryan Dunn, Josh Okogie and Royce O'Neale could receive increased playing time against Minnesota.
NOVEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Friday Allen (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder, Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site reports.
Impact Despite participating in the Suns' morning shootaround, Allen has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss a second straight game. With Kevin Durant (calf) and Bradley Beal (calf) also sidelined, Ryan Dunn, Josh Okogie and Royce O'Neale should be the primary beneficiaries Friday night, while TyTy Washington, Oso Ighodaro, Monte Morris and Damion Lee could also see increased roles.
NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Goes through shootaround Allen (hamstring) participated in shootaround ahead of Friday's game versus the Thunder, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Allen is officially listed as questionable for Friday's contest due to right hamstring soreness. However, Allen's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability against Oklahoma City.
NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Deemed questionable for Friday Allen (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.
Impact Allen is in jeopardy of missing his second straight outing due to right hamstring soreness. If the sharpshooter joins Bradley Beal (calf) on the sideline Friday, the Suns could take an extended look at Josh Okogie, TyTy Washington and Damion Lee on the wing.
NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Wednesday Allen has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Sacramento.
Impact Allen joins Bradley Beal (elbow) as inactive Wednesday in what will be a short-handed Phoenix rotation. Devin Booker will shoulder additional offensive burden, while Josh Okogie's experience could yield a larger role. Ample shooting opportunities should exist for rookie Ryan Dunn as well.
NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable Wednesday Allen is questionable for Wednesday's game against Sacramento due to right hamstring soreness.
Impact Allen logged 26 minutes in Tuesday's win over Utah without suffering any publicized injury, but he will nonetheless carry a questionable designation into Wednesday night. Bradley Beal (calf) is also questionable in an otherwise healthy Phoenix backcourt.
NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Lands four triples in win Allen provided 15 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 win over Utah.
Impact Allen connected on four three-pointers, continuing to serve as a scoring threat off the bench. After a breakout 2023-24 season, Allen's role has reduced following the offseason addition of Tyus Jones. He should continue to be a reliable perimeter threat and should any of the starting backcourt be forced to miss time, Allen would likely be the next man up.
NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Plays season-high 27 minutes Allen posted nine points (3-13 FG, 3-11 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 27 minutes during Sunday's 127-118 overtime loss to the Kings.
Impact With Kevin Durant (calf) sidelined and Bradley Beal (knee) battling an in-game injury, Allen was afforded a season-high 27 minutes, but he failed to capitalize. The sharpshooter is shooting only 31.9 percent from deep this season, which would be a career-worst mark. Allen shot 46.1 percent from deep last season, so some positive regression should be on the horizon.

Impact Allen produced his second consecutive game of the season hitting the double-digit mark in points. In that two-game span, the sharpshooter has shot 10-for-18 from the field and 6-for-11 from three-point range. The 29-year-old has taken a backseat off the bench this season, during which he has averaged 9.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks across 19.0 minutes per game in five regular-season outings.
NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Sees 12 minutes in return Allen registered three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds over 12 minutes during Monday's 109-105 win over the Lakers.
Impact Allen missed Phoenix's previous two games due to a personal matter. Royce O'Neale and Ryan Dunn were the key reserves for Phoenix on Monday, though it's likely that the Suns ramp Allen back up to his usual workload in the near future.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Out for personal reasons Allen (personal/Achilles) won't play in Friday's game against the Lakers, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.
Impact Allen was initially labeled probable due to right Achilles soreness, but a personal matter will sideline him Friday. It's unclear if he'll be available for the closing half of Phoenix's back-to-back set Saturday against Dallas. Ryan Dunn and Monte Morris should see more action while Allen is out.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Probable ahead of Friday Allen (Achilles) is probable for Friday's matchup versus the Lakers.
Impact Allen has been dealing with right Achilles soreness, but he was able to suit up during the club's regular-season opener and play 21 minutes. It is unclear whether the sharpshooter will be limited off the bench, but Ryan Dunn and Monte Morris are both candidates for more playing time if he is.
OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Good to go Wednesday Allen (Achilles) will play in Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.
Impact Allen was labeled probable for Wednesday's regular-season opener, so it's no surprise to see the sharpshooter active. Allen started in 74 of 75 regular-season games last year with Phoenix but will be one of the Suns' top bench pieces in 2024-25.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to play Wednesday Allen (Achilles) is probable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Clippers, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports
Impact Allen missed the entire preseason schedule due to Achilles soreness, but he logged a full practice Monday and is expected to be ready for the regular season. After being a full-time starter last year, the sharpshooter is expected to operate off the bench this season, with newcomer Tyus Jones handling point-guard duties and pushing Devin Booker over to shooting guard.
